... you may not love them. And love is not something only in the mind - that you think you love them. Do something - just as you scream. A scream is a physical thing. Sometimes sing and dance also because you have such a beautiful child. Then there is no problem. Sometimes hug him, take him close... Let him feel your body and feel his body. He is part of your body. He needs your warmth. Sometimes take...
..., becomes clear - that you are just a witnessing self, a witnessing soul. Man is in the body, woman is in the body. The mind follows shadows, reflections. Deeper in your core, in the very core of your being, you are neither - neither man nor woman. Now that point has to be understood. Once that is understood you can laugh at the whole thing. And once that is understood, the whole power of anger, of...
... love you too much." Is she blind - she cannot see ten thousand hands? To me it does not matter, she could have stood up. But why, in the first place, should you be in this commune? A commune has to be an organic unity - not a union but an organic unity, just like the body is. The left hand cannot go against the right hand. The legs cannot go against the head. The heart cannot go against the head...
... this dark cell in which I have lived for fifty years. And these heavy chains on my hands and on my feet have become almost part of my body. Without them I will feel something is missing. I don't think I can even sleep without them." But revolutionaries are revolutionaries - they forced them. They cut their chains and forced them to get out of the prison. But by the evening almost everybody was...
... yourself, if you see a picture of your body naked, without the head, you will not be able to recognize that this is your body. Diogenes was an immensely beautiful man; he needed no clothes. He lived by the side of a river. It was early morning and he was taking a sunbath. He had only one companion, a dog, and only one possession, an old type of lamp. Alexander heard that Diogenes was very close when they...
... IS WHAT KEEPS YOU IN YOUR BODY. IS ALL THIS NEGATIVITY AND EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING RECENTLY AFFECTING YOU? WILL WE LOSE YOU? There is every possibility. Question 6: BELOVED MASTER, HUMAN NATURE IS TRICKY. IT WILL CREATE A SIMPLE INSTITUTION TO BEGIN WITH AND THEN TURN IT INTO AN ESTABLISHMENT SO AS TO CONTROL IT AND THE PEOPLE IT IS THERE TO SERVE. IN SUCH A SITUATION, CAN AN ENLIGHTENED...
... very strange. The scientist has the consciousness in himself, what is the need to go to a white mouse? Go inwards! And that's what I call the science of interiority, religio, meditation. You move deeper, leaving your body, your mind, your heartbeat far behind - and, still, you are. And you are more than you have ever been, because you had known yourself filtered through the heart, through the mind...
..., through the body - thick layers. So you had felt your consciousness in a very slight way. But when you have reached to your own center - which is neither chemical nor physical nor biological - you experience a totally new reality. Immediately you become aware that it is not a by-product, that it has its own existence. The body may die, but this consciousness is so separate from the body that there is no...
... possibility of its dying with the body. The heart may stop, but you are so far away from the heart, you are no longer identified with the heart. You are part of an eternal life. So when I talk about consciousness, I am talking about my own experience of diving deep into my being. And when the physicists talk about consciousness, they are talking not about experience but about experiments that they are doing...
... now you may be having a few games here and there. They are simply wasting your time. The same time can be given to finding your reality, your being. Enlightenment is eternal. And there is no way to lose it, because it is you. You have discovered yourself. You are asking, "If the enlightened person is never born again in the body, and since life is so juicy, why bother about enlightenment?"...
... enlightened person does not enter into the body again because he has entered into the cosmos. It is as if you are living in a small hut, and somebody says to you that there is a marble palace of infinite dimensions; but one condition is, you cannot come back to your hut again. You will say, "I don't want to go after such an idea. Losing my hut? It is so cozy and so comfortable, and I have lived here so...
... waves... it is moving. It is so full of energy; it is not something dead, it is alive. But it is up to you; nobody can force you into enlightenment. Only you, if you have any courage, can take the jump. I can guarantee one thing: you would not like to be born again, because what have you gained? In the body, in this life, you are a pauper. Enlightened, you will become an emperor. Why should an emperor...
..., you may completely forget that what you are looking for is within you. In my childhood I had a teacher with very weak eyes and very thick glasses; they had almost become part of his body. One day when I was sitting with him, he started looking here and there. I asked, "What is the matter?" He said, "I am looking for my glasses." I said, "How can you look without glasses...
... celibate. Fast. Don't enjoy your food. Torture yourself. Don't love your own body." Renunciation is sick. Rejoice - that is health. And let me remind you, the word 'health', the word 'whole', the word 'holy', all come from the same root. Health means healed; the wound is healed. Now nothing is missing, there is no wound in you. You are complete, you are a circle. Be whole, and health and holiness...
... to be thrown out of the body. Once the woman becomes pregnant, the menstrual period stops, because now that blood is being used in creating the child. But it is not in your hands! Nature has kept all the secret keys in its own hands. Jainism has not allowed women to be liberated directly from the female body. And you will be surprised, the reason is their menstrual period; they cannot control it...
... two pounds of your weight gone? - you have eaten it!" Man's body, for emergency purposes, has a double system - just for survival. There may be times when you cannot get food, so if you just fast for three days, your inner mechanism moves to the emergency level and you start absorbing your own flesh, your own meat. Within thirty days you will be just a skeleton. Where has all the meat...
... same thermometer can show you, this is cold, how much cold; this is hot, how hot. The difference is of degrees, not of opposition. They are one phenomenon, absolutely joined together. For example, for you to exist in Alaska or Siberia is very difficult, because you are a warm-weather animal. But the walrus cannot exist anywhere else. The walrus is a cold-weather animal. Its body is made for the cold...
.... So in Alaska or Siberia he is perfectly happy, in tune with nature. Bring the walrus into a hot area and he will die, just as you will die in the eternal cold of the Himalayas or Siberia or Alaska. You will need tremendous arrangements for yourself to keep warm. But the walrus has no woolen clothes, no electric blankets, not even hair. He does not need them; his body is made so that even if it is...
..., and I am dumb." RINZAI OBSERVED, "YOU ANIMAL! Making the sound moo, moo you have proved that you are still using the animal mind." In Zen, mind is an animal heritage, and unless you go beyond mind, you are not an authentic human being. Just your body is that of a human being, but your mind is a very long process of four million years of animals; it contains all the animals you have...
... stick. The stick only touches your skin, may go as deep as your bones; but a shout may penetrate to the very being, because it is an invisible force. A stick is a material, ordinary thing; it can hit the body but it cannot hit the consciousness. So he is asking Lo'pu, "UP TO NOW IT HAS BEEN THE CUSTOM FOR SOME MEN TO USE THE STICK AND OTHERS TO GIVE A SHOUT. WHICH COMES CLOSER TO THE HEART OF THE...
..., what I want to know is: male or female?" "Oh, I see what you mean," replies the Polack pope, with a wink. "I like both!" Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes and feel your body to be completely frozen. Now look inwards with your total consciousness with your total life energy and with an urgency as if this is your last moment of...
... loving. In this silence everything becomes a dance. Even silence becomes a song. Deeper and deeper... let your arrow of consciousness penetrate as deep as possible. The path is small. A little courage and suddenly you are at the center, freed from the body, freed from the mind, you are ready to disappear into the cosmos. To be nobody is the greatest blissfulness. Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Relax, and just...
.... Watchfulness takes you out of the prison and opens the doors of the infinity. You are not the body, you are not the mind. You are only this witnessing consciousness. This is your freedom. This is your original face. This is the buddha you have been searching for. You have to bring all this experience slowly, slowly to your circumference, to your daily life. In your ordinary activities the buddha has to be...
... their real being. One thing is to be remembered: Gautam Buddha cannot come back. He has said, "I will be coming back." That's purely symbolic - he cannot come back. A man of that stature, a being who has reached to the ultimate experience of existence cannot come back; it is just not possible in the very nature of things. He cannot take another form, another body. He cannot be born again in...
... never find Gautam Buddha back in the body again. And if they can find him back in the body again, then he was not a real buddha in the first place. This is the dilemma: he can be born again only if he was not a buddha, if he was not yet awakened. Once you are awakened, you cannot dream again; you can dream only in sleep. You cannot dream again - and all our lives are just dreams and we are fast asleep...
... dead body to the graveyard, my hands should be hanging out." "But," they said, "this is not done! A strange kind of thing you are asking. And people will ask us, 'Why are his hands hanging out?' - because it has never been done before. What are we going to say to them?" Alexander said, "Tell them that my hands are empty. I came with empty hands and I am going with empty...
... sunlit peaks, calling. It is not the same person always; the person goes on changing, but there is always someone on the sunlit peaks calling you forth. It is the same voice. The face may be different, the body may be different, but it is the same source. All the buddhas are the same; their message is the same, their mission is the same. Their language may differ but their indications are always to the...
... a cow is very symbolic. You cannot fall asleep standing up, it is very difficult. You have to lie down horizontally, so that the gravitational pull is equal all over the body. Standing, leaning or sitting, the gravitational pull will be different on different parts of the body. That is a disturbance in your harmoniousness. But when you lie down you come into a deep harmony with the gravitational...
... encourage customers like you not to reproduce!" Nivedano... (Drumbeat) (Gibberish) Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Be silent. Close your eyes. Feel the body to be completely frozen. Now look inwards with total urgency as if there is not going to be another moment. Only with such urgency, as if this is the last moment of your life, can your vision penetrate to your life sources, to your eternity, to your...
... more clear, Nivedano... (Drumbeat) Relax. Just let your body be there and your mind, but remember that you are only a watcher. You are neither the body nor the mind, but only a mirror reflecting, without any judgment, a pure reflection of the moon in the lake. This is your ultimate reality. This is your very being. It is beyond words, but not beyond experience. It is your very sky, without any...
... chanting. It should not be done in a lukewarm way; it should not be done in a ritualistic way. It should be wild; only then will it help. You should be completely lost in it. It should be so total that not only are you chanting by the throat - your whole body starts chanting it. You will start feeling the vibration. Chanting done totally vibrates every fibre of the body from the head to the toe. Chanting...
... are chanting is relevant. So you can chant 'ram, ram...' or 'allah, allah...' or anything. Or you can change as the feeling moves you. Sometimes you can simply start uttering wild noises. And you will be transformed by it - it will change the very chemistry of your body - so chanting is good. And one thing - if you can do it before you come - is Vipassana. It is a Buddhist meditation course...
... the body is ill, you are suffering, you are in pain and anguish, all kinds of doubt come; they come in weakness. It is just as if you are Lying down underneath a tree and the animals feel that you are dead. Then they will all jump on you and start devouring you. But if they know that you are alive they won't come close by. It happens in exactly the same way in the mind. When you are feeling...
... doubts and all separations. You can go for a few months, you can enjoy it there and then come back. But if there is no special reason to go - just a vagrant idea in the mind - then why waste time? Your body will be okay within a month, perfectly okay. And continue working, mm? Would you like to stay permanently here, finally? Mm, so... before finally deciding to be here you can go and say good-bye to...
... thought about it. How much will be appropriate? What do you think?" He said, "Any offer ... it will be accepted." So the man sold his skull for another ten million. On the way the Sufi asked, "Would you like to sell the remaining body too? - because what is the point: you are already dead; your eyes are gone, your head is gone - what is left? There is no point in keeping the body...
... ... and I have a customer. He is a scientist and he dissects bodies; he is always in need of bodies, fresh bodies. And he will be absolutely happy because he cannot get such a fresh body, that has only just died. The eyes have been taken, the head has been cut, but the body will still be warm - it is just like a flower torn from the tree while it is still alive; it will take two or three days to fade...
... will be gone, you won"t need it." As they reached the palace he started thinking again: what is he going to do? He had never thought that his eyes have such value, that his skull has value, that his whole body has value ... that this man is going to earn thirty million rupees. He said, "I don't want to do this business." The Sufi said, "What about suicide?" The man said...
